Wabi-Sabi

Traducere și note de Tudora Șandru-Mehedinți Roman de arheologie sentimentalã care ne transportã într-o Japonie senzuală, exotică, plină de contraste, Wabi-Sabi ne dezvãluie nouă, cititorilor, și protagonistului Samuel de Juan, cunoscut din bestsellerul Iubire cu „i“ mic, frumusețea lucrurilor imperfecte și efemere. În Barcelona zilelor noastre, Samuel trăiește o poveste de dragoste cu Gabriela, dar locuiește în apartamentul lui de burlac împreună cu motanul Mishima. În afara cursurilor de germană pe care le predă la universitate, îl ajută ocazional pe Titus, originalul său vecin, la redactarea unor cărți de dezvoltare personală. Într-o dimineață de iunie, primește din Japonia o vedere enigmatică pe care scrie doar: Wabi-Sabi. La îndemnul lui Titus, după ce Gabriela îi anunță sfârșitul legăturii lor, Samuel pleacă într-o călătorie la Kyōto, sperând să dezlege misterul. „Un roman incitant despre frumusețea fragilității.“ (TimeOut Barcelona)

Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment. From this age-old conc...
